QUESTION: 157

Which of the following variables must be included in the calculations for Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Quality Views?

Ceiling heights
Building furniture
Movable partitions
Permanent interior obstructions

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

According to the LEED v4 Reference Guide for Building Design and Construction, the calculations for Quality Views must include the following variables: window size and configuration, glazing factor, window head height, distance of the window from the floor, permanent interior obstructions, and exterior obstructions. Ceiling heights, building furniture, and movable partitions are not required to be included in the calculations.

QUESTION: 158

Large commercial buildings are most often dominated by

internal loads
lighting loads
external loads
envelope loads

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Large commercial buildings are most often dominated by internal loads, which are the heat gains or losses from people, equipment, lighting, and other sources inside the building. Internal loads can affect the heating and cooling loads and the energy consumption of the building. Therefore, reducing internal loads can improve the building's energy efficiency and performance.

QUESTION: 159

Building Product Disclosure and Optimization is based on market

reliability
durability
transparency
consumption

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Building Product Disclosure and Optimization is based on market transparency, which means providing information about the environmental and social impacts of the products and materials used in the building. The LEED v4 Reference Guide for Building Design and Construction states that "the intent of this credit category is to encourage the use of products and materials for which life-
cycle information is available and that have environmentally, economically, and socially preferable life-cycle impacts"1. By disclosing the information about the product ingredients, environmental product declarations, sourcing of raw materials, and material ingredients optimization, the project team can make informed decisions and support the development of a more sustainable market.

QUESTION: 160

The Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) includes the measure of a material's

color (shade of gray)
ability to reflect solar radiation
ability to absorb solar radiation
ability to reflect thermal radiation

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) is a measure of the roof's ability to reject solar heat, as shown by a small temperature rise. It is defined so that a standard black (reflectance 0.05, emittance 0.90) is 0 and a standard white (reflectance 0.80, emittance 0.90) is 100. SRI is calculated using the roof surface's Solar Reflectance (SR) and Thermal Emittance (TE). SR is the fraction of solar energy that is reflected by the roof, and TE is the relative ability of the roof surface to radiate heat. Therefore, SRI includes the measure of a material's ability to reflect solar radiation, but not its ability to absorb or emit thermal radiation.
